RUNNING A SMALL BUSINESS AND HAVING TO NAVIGATE THROUGH THIS TIME HAS IT’S UPS AND DOWNS. ON ONE HAND, THE IDEA OF A RECESSION SCARES THE SH*T OUT OF ME AND ON THE OTHER HAND I KNOW THAT I’VE BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD BEFORE (HELLO 2008!) AND I’M FULLY CAPABLE OF GETTING THROUGH IT. I HATE TO THINK OF THE IDEA OF HAVING TO PIVOT AND CHANGE WHEN, AS A COMPANY, WE WERE REALLY GETTING INTO AN AWESOME GROOVE AND DOING AMAZING THINGS. I’M STAYING POSITIVE, HOPEFUL AND DETERMINED. AT THIS POINT, THAT’S ALL WE CAN DO. I’M ALSO NOT JUMPING TOO FAR AHEAD IN MY THOUGHTS OF THE FUTURE. ONE DAY AT A TIME HAS BEEN MY MOTO THESE DAYS.
THERE IS NOT ONE PERSON RIGHT NOW ON THIS PLANET THAT IS NOT BEING PHYSICALLY OR MENTALLY AFFECTED AND FOR THAT REASON WE ARE ALL UNITED. IT’S A CHALLENGE TO KEEP OUR HEADS UP, STAY POSITIVE AND PERSEVERE DURING DIFFICULT TIMES BUT WE NEED TO KEEP GOING AND STAY STRONG. ENDURING THESE OBSTACLES AND WEATHERING THE STORM IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PERSONAL AND SPIRITUAL GROWTH AND AS A COMMUNITY WE WILL ALL GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER.
SENDING YOU LOVE, LAURA ODELL.
